Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 24th March 2025.

24th March, 2025.

Right then … it’s Monday morning.

And, of course, I’m up early.

Mondays are Weight Management day: and I’m hoping I’ve lost some!

~≈⚖️≈~

Just so you know?

Post Nosferatu, I’ve seen another movie!

Hopefully, I’ll have the review up by tomorrow: but … ?

See if you can guess what I watched … !

~≈👽≈~

Hmmm … 

Overnight?

I had a comment on this Teaser post.

One that discussed the idea the US president was a Russian agent: and trying to sell a book about it.

The president’s a lot of things.

Including an idiot.

And possibly an agent for Putin.

But … ?

I felt the commenter was only interested in selling their book: rather than any kind of conversation about the idea.

I pressed ‘Delete’ …

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Hello, Mum!

†      Six eggs, Olga!?   If you get that many clutches¶, your flat will get a visit from Bill Oddie!

        Quite what happened with yesterday’s introduction video, I don’t know.   Although there did seem to be issues with the size of the thing: something I tried to solve by resizing it with QuickTime.   Obviously, that didn’t work.   I’ve recoded it with HandBrake, this morning: that seems to have done the trick.

‡        Morning, Irene: how is the day … ?   (Oh, I saw a funny 2000AD t-shirt Jim might like: the slogan got me.   Believe it or not, the Dave on the t-shirt, was the mayor of Mega-City One.)

§        The band’s better known for this one, Debbi:

¶        Clutches!   That was the word I was after, Olga!   (I suddenly remembered Anne McCaffrey used it in her Dragonrider books: when she talked about groups of dragon eggs.)
